If muddy paws and worn patches are becoming the norm, we can help with a garden that’s made for pets. Our designs balance smart layout with robust materials, so your outdoor space stays attractive and practical year-round. In SE26, we regularly work near Sydenham Wells Park and around Lower Sydenham, creating safe zones for play, rest and training. Every plan considers your pet’s habits, from sprinting routes to favourite digging corners.
Sydenham’s leafy streets and period housing often come with long, narrow plots, mature trees and varied levels. We’re used to upgrading Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions where access can be tight and boundaries need careful detailing. Whether you’re in Forest Hill or close to Bell Green, we tailor surfaces and planting to reduce mess indoors and prevent damage outdoors. The result is a garden that suits both the property style and the way your pets use it.
We start with a site visit to assess wear patterns, drainage, shade and escape risks, then propose a clear layout and specification. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and straightforward communication throughout. You’ll get pet-safe planting guidance, practical maintenance advice and a finish that’s built to last. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent options and a warranty-backed build.
We account for Sydenham’s mix of shaded plots near woodland edges and sunnier, open gardens, selecting lawn types and surfaces accordingly. Many streets have limited access and controlled parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep things smooth. Boundary lines in period gardens can be irregular, so fencing and gates are measured and fitted precisely. We also consider drainage and run-off so pet areas stay usable after heavy rain.

Costs vary with garden size, access and the features you choose. As a guide, a small pet-friendly refresh (hard-wearing turf, minor fencing tweaks and an easy-clean zone) often starts around £2,500–£5,000. Mid-size redesigns with new paving, secure fencing and planting are commonly £6,000–£15,000. Larger gardens with dog runs, drainage upgrades and bespoke gates can be £15,000–£30,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of groundwork. A simple lawn replacement and small paved area may be completed in 3–5 days. A full redesign with fencing, new surfaces, planting and a dog run typically needs 2–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing time for bases and whether we’re adding drainage or lighting.
Most pet-friendly garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing lawns, adding paths or installing standard fencing. However, rules can change if you’re on a corner plot, near a highway, in a conservation area, or if fence heights exceed limits. Water features and electrics may also require extra care. We’ll advise early, check constraints for your property and recommend any permissions or compliant alternatives.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as failing bases, unstable edging and defects arising from how the build was carried out. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen products. We also give aftercare guidance for lawns and planting, because good establishment is key—especially where pets use the garden daily.
Popular options include hard-wearing turf or reinforced grass systems for high-traffic routes, porcelain or textured concrete paving for easy cleaning, and pet-safe gravel zones with proper edging. For boundaries, we fit robust timber or metal fencing with secure latches and gap-proof detailing. We can add dog runs, designated digging areas, shade spots and safe water features. We’ll recommend choices based on your pet’s size, habits and your maintenance preferences.
